Beef Back Ribs on the WSM

[cmagsi2]

So I finally got the chance to smoke some beef back ribs on my 18.5" WSM.  I must say that they turned out pretty good! Slathered them with some olive oil and rubbed them with some kosher salt and black pepper.



Prepped the WSM to 275 degrees. I used the minion method with pecan wood.



3 1/2 hrs in spritz them with some apple cider vinegar. Good bark forming!

.

7 1/2 hrs later they were done! Perfect complement to some Some Alpha King!

Looks great! I recently just cooked some myself for the first time and found them to be enjoyable.

Buying beef ribs tomorrow and have never done them.  Do you not recommend the 3-2-1 method?

@Lumpy Coal  In my opinion 3-2-1 ribs turn out WAY too soft with absolutely NO bite through. Now, if you like to pull the bones out with your fingers, then go for it. Granted, I have only done it on pork ribs, not beef, but I won't be doing 3-2-1 with my ribs ever again.

Good looking ribs Mags.

I've only done pork ribs once and I did this method and thought they were a bit mushy.  Just not sure how to do them another way, temps, time, etc. there are so many opinions and I don't have a thermopen to check temp.  Don't mind the long smoke but don't want them to dry out.  Planning to do beef back and pork back ribs.  Any help would be awesome.

Thanks guys beef ribs are very tasty. Try not to over cook them as the bone marrow can make them taste gamey. I got a pulled pork lined up soon. I'll post that as well! Happy BBQ'ing!
